Under Deconstruction

The menu at C.1880 in Walker’s Point is full of works of beauty, like chef/owner Thomas Hauck’s foie gras au torchon. We took a close look at the dish here.

Chef Thomas Hauck has featured foie gras (duck liver) on the menu at c.1880 since the restaurant’s 2012 opening. The continuously changing nature of Hauck’s menu means the foie gras plate you see below – from an early-March menu – will have a more spring-like look the next time you see it.

How do you approach eating this? There’s no right or wrong way.
